My Grandpa's funeral

We went to my grandpa's funeral on Oct. 2nd. and all went somewhat well. It was an amazing service. He was in the Air Force so he received a full military service. They did the gun salute, the presenting of the flag (which was so cool! and i was sitting right behind my grandma so i heard what they say too). the other neat thing is that my uncle found an aircraft cylinder to bury him in. It weighed 65 lbs. and the cemetery said it was the coolest thing they had ever seen as an urn. Then they bolted chains to it so the men could have something to hold on to to carry it in. Oh and we were also led in by percession. There were about 15 motorcycles that took us through town to the veterans cemetery. I will miss my grandpa greatly but i am so glad he was so honored all the way to the end. We love you grandpa Al!!

So the part that didn't go so well, is that an hour before the service chase grabbed my mom's straightening iron and it burned his hand so bad it actually stuck for a second. i ripped it off and threw it across the room. he burned each finger tip and some of his palm. it was hurting him so bad he was uncontrollably screaming the hole day. so Ryan didn't get to see the service. he walked chase in the stroller around the cemetery during the service. so once we got to my g-ma's house her friend sally said "oh i have some antibiotic burn cream, I'll go get it" with in 5 min. of putting it on he was back to his normal self. *mind you that was after asking all the fireman that were there (since my g-ma is a volunteer firefighter) if they had anything to treat burns. and they all said NO. What??!!! i thought for sure they would of had something. So no we are 2 weeks after that and all the blisters have popped and are healing. He continues to pick at the loose skin and it is just a little scary looking. i felt so bad for my little man.

anyways, here's a pic of the boys at my g'ma's w/ some model airplanes that were used for the tables that g-ma bangerter made and the rest are chase's hand. there was a photographer at the service so i will post those pics when we get them.
